Beets and Berries and Watercress Salad


Take 2 cups of baby beets. Peel and pulse them in a food processor. Mix half a cup of grapefruit juice, a tablespoon of lime juice, a tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Marinate the beets in this juice until the beets soften – take susually 15 minutes and then strain it. Cut handful of strawberries in halves. Take quarter cup each of ripe blueberries and raspberries and blackberries. Mix the beets and the berries in a bowl. Add half a cup of watercress leaves. Sprinkle some salt and pepper. Take a stalk of rhubarb and puree it in a food processor with drops of water. To serve, place the rhubarb puree in a salad plate and then stack up the beet and berry mix. Serve chilled. Enjoy the crunchy beets and watercress leaves with soft textured berries. It is a great spring and summer salad to remind your palette of the fresh spring tart and sweet tastes and give you a visual treat of colors.
